Workplace Wellbeing

Successful and fulfilled people who can manage their stress, remain objective, be responsive rather than reactive, show compassion to themselves and others as well as build trust with colleagues and stakeholders. This is what we all want. This is who we want to be too. Mindfulness training has been clinically proven to help build these resources, as well as building confidence and resilience.

My Mindfulness Works and Wellbeing courses can help you and your people more be more resilient, creative and fulfilled.

Mindfulness is more than a tool it is a way and path to become a happier and more fulfilled human being. Just the sort of person you want working with you and for you.

Can you put a figure on how much your organisation loses through stress-related absenteeism?

The UK Government's Office for National Statistics (ONS) states that

An estimated 185.6 million working days were lost because of sickness or injury in 2022; this level was a record high,
All age groups experienced increases in their sickness absence rate in 2022.
Groups with the highest rates of sickness absence in 2022 included women, older workers, those with long-term health conditions, people working part-time, and people working in care, leisure, or other service occupations.

Cutting edge companies who have already successfully offered mindfulness programmes include: Deutsche Bank, Procter & Gamble, Apple, Astra Zeneca, Google (who have their own mindfulness program) and Yahoo.

Immeasurable Minds has offered mindfulness training to numerous local companies including TESCO, Deloitte, the Public Health Agency and the Utility Regulator (see more below).

Some Testimonials

“I thought the session was great! I have been actively practicing some mindfulness in my own time since last week. The counting the things you're grateful for exercise was extremely beneficial for me. I feel like it will be helpful for me any time I feel overwhelmed and disappointed about the speed things are progressing in life. The guided meditation was also very helpful, I felt so relaxed afterwards. I can't really do that on my own as well as I did in the group setting.”
